Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when they yawn, say, “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.” Is there any evidence for this? What are the rulings regarding it?
Answer:
No, “I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan” was not reported in this context. What was reported is that when one yawns, he should suppress it as much as he can. If the yawn overcomes him, he should place his hand over his mouth so that his mouth is not open while yawning. This is what was reported. Yes.
